Montclair, CA Beauty and Salons

Jabez's staff of professional stylists studies at the Bumble and bumble University in New York City to equip themselves with the most artful and effective tress-taming techniques. The shaggy strands of men's manes surrender to unyielding, razor-edged scissors with a men's haircut, which mellows unruly mops or trims rebellious follicles into a well-kept whole. Clients possessing dual x chromosomes indulge in a women's haircut, relaxing in the high-ceilinged, naturally-lit salon while a professional hair sculptor shears, blow-dries, and shapes follicle sprouts into a face-framing curtain of pure glossiness. Both men and women celebrate the reformation of unruly locks with a scalp massage and a tension-relieving head rub to spoil the skull or ease residual soreness from the competitive ear-wiggling semifinals.

Wild Earth's sugaring treatment uses a soft, all-natural, sugar-based paste that adheres just to hair, and because this paste is gently patted onto the skin and peeled off in the direction of hair growth, it's substantially less uncomfortable than traditional waxing. It's also more effective because fewer hairs break in the process and are therefore removed completely from their follicle foxholes. Wild Earth's sugaring mix is body temperature—not scalding hot—and completely sanitary.

The Frame's pale-pink-and-teal walls paired with vintage furnishings craft a homey atmosphere, perfect for cozying up and relaxing while a skilled stylist transforms threadbare hair into silkier strands. A color-glossing treatment coats headsnakes in the coveted Redken Shades Crystal Clear serum to create whisper-soft tendrils with a healthy and glamorous sheen. In addition to conditioning coifs and dressing follicles in microscopic tiaras, Redken Shades also works diligently to seal hair cuticles in place. The artful snippers at The Frame will also tailor a haircut to their guests’ highest aesthetic standards, shaping their moptops according to their requests and recent trends. For those interested in shifting the tonality of hair without having to dive into a pile of red pistachios, full color runs at $85, partial highlights chime in at $65, and full highlights at $95—all reduced by 30% if completed during the same appointment as your Groupon.

Skin Suite Rx’s microdermabrasion treatments are performed using a wand coated with diamonds rather than rough chemical crystals or ground-up Matchbox cars. During each 30- to 60-minute treatment, the diamond-tipped device gently sloughs off layers of dead skin, like peeling open a banana to reveal the creamy mashed potatoes inside. The face, neck, chest, arms, elbows, knees, and pancreas are just a few of the areas that people often treat to this deep exfoliation. Skin Suite Rx’s staff of licensed medical professionals customizes the treatments by simultaneously infusing skin with a serum chosen to fight your specific skin’s problems, be they large pores, uneven texture, or tendency to attract cheek-pinching aunts. At the conclusion of the first countenance cleansing, many clients report that their skin is soft and glowing; after the second treatment, skin shimmers like the surface of a lake at twilight, but without skinny-dipping lovebirds constantly frolicking in it. (Up to 12 treatments may be required to achieve desired results.)

Skin Perfect Brothers' team of certified aestheticians and laser-trained nurses helps patrons tighten, clear, and depilate skin using the latest laser technology. The med spa's lineup of safe and inspected lasers, which are only operated by authorized technicians and well-trained supervillains, can perform a range of services, from expunging epidermal botherations to helping diminish waistline inches. In addition to targeting unwanted fat and hair, staffers work to coax out skin's youthful glow by harnessing the Titan laser's skin-firming zaps and Botox's wrinkle-prohibiting solution.

After five years of rapid growth and a thriving clientele, Tantrum Salon faced a turning point when Tabatha Coffey stepped her signature jet-black boots onto the salon floor. The host of Bravo's Tabatha's Salon Takeover got right to work streamlining their business, highlighting their best stylists, and renovating the space by swapping out the loud yellow wall paint for neutral tones and threadbare curtains for geometric dividers. Now, owner Robert Moreno and his team work together flawlessly to craft face-flattering styles with cuts, color, and other specialty services such as extensions, relaxers, and Brazilian Blowouts, which create smooth, sultry hair better than playing Barry White through a blow dryer.
